Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Chapter one: Beginning of school - Dalang

**In a luxurious villa.**

**Elder Sister:** Ah Hai, Ah Hai, don't go.

**Second Sister:** Elder Sister, what are you doing? Ah Hai is going to study, not becoming a monk. Don't be so dramatic.

**Elder Sister** looks at Xue Pei (Second Sister) with a hostile expression: It's all your fault. If you hadn't instilled independence and strength in him since he was a child, Ah Hai wouldn't be going to study elsewhere.

**Second Sister:** Yes, it's my doing, so what? **Second Sister** says smugly.

**Second Sister:** And wasn't it you who kept following him around, causing his classmates to laugh at him?

**Elder Sister:** What did they laugh at?

**Second Sister:** They laughed that you're not his grandmother or his mother, but his elder sister.

Standing nearby, Xue Hai finally couldn't help but shout: Enough, stop arguing! I'm going to miss my flight.

**Elder Sister:** So what if you miss it? Then don't go.

Xue Hai ignores her: Thank you all for taking care of me these past years. Thank you, everyone. Young master, be careful.

**Xue Hai** walks toward the car.

**Butler:** Young master, take care.

**Xue Hai:** Got it.

**Elder Sister**: Don't go, Ah Hai! **Elder Sister** gets emotional. **Second Sister** holds her back.

In the car, Ah Hai thinks: Huh, what's going on? Why do I hear Elder Sister's voice? **Xue Hai** sits up and finds that the person sitting next to him is his **Elder Sister**.

**Xue Hai** is startled.

**Xue Hai (thinking):** Elder Sister, when did you get in?

**Elder Sister:** I decided to accompany you to Hangzhou.

**Xue Hai:** Ah, alright.

**Elder Sister (thinking):** You little brat, don't think you can get rid of me.

**Xue Hai:** Sigh.

**Pause.**

What's going on? Why is there no picture? It turns out that Zhang Yifei was watching this TV show. Suddenly, a few words appear on the computer screen: Do you want to travel through time? Yifei finds it strange. Time travel? Maybe the computer has a virus again. These hackers are so boring. The protagonist intended to click "No," but accidentally clicked "Yes," and a strong light from the computer screen sucked him in.

Who knows how much time passed.

At this moment, Zhang Yifei wakes up slowly on a lawn. Where is this place? Yifei looks at the people coming and going on the road, and pulls a passerby to ask.

**Yifei:** Excuse me, where is this place?

**Student:** This is Zhejiang University.

**Yifei:** Ah? Zhejiang University? **Yifei** is stunned.

**Student:** Have you finished asking? You must be new here.

**Yifei:** Mm, thank you.

**Yifei (thinking):** How did I end up here? Yifei walks and thinks, unintentionally arriving where Da Lang and Elder Sister are arguing.

**Yifei** looks at the two people.

**Yifei (thinking):** These two look familiar.

**Yifei:** What are you arguing about?

**Da Lang** and **Elder Sister** stop and look at Yifei.

**Da Lang:** We're not arguing. Are you a new transfer student?

**Yifei's** mind races.

**Yifei:** Yes. What's your name?

**Da Lang:** I'm Xue…

**Elder Sister:** Lin Da Lang, Lin Da Lang, **Elder Sister** interjects.

At this moment, **Xue Hai** pulls **Elder Sister** aside: Elder Sister, what's with this Lin Da Lang name? It sounds awful.

**Elder Sister:** What do you know? If others find out our family is wealthy, it'll be bad for you.

**Xue Hai:** Ugh, Elder Sister, why do I have to use a fake name?

**Elder Sister:** When you wanted to study in Hangzhou, I came up with this fake name for you.

**Xue Hai:** Ah?

**Zhang Yifei:** What are you two talking about?

At this point, **Xue Hai** and **Elder Sister** realize they've forgotten about **Yifei**.

**Yifei:** Lin Da Lang, Da Lang? I think I've heard this name somewhere before?

**Xue Hai:** Do you know me?

**Zhang Yifei (thinking):** Lin Da Lang? Isn't that the name from the popular TV show "Hi My Sweetheart"? Could he be Luo Zhixiang? No way, did I really time travel? He couldn't figure it out.

**Xue Hai:** Hey, what are you thinking about? **Yifei** snaps back to reality.

**Yifei:** Oh, I got it. **Yifei** says excitedly.

**Xue Hai & Elder Sister:** You got what?

**Yifei:** Da Lang, isn't that the name of Pink Panther's friend?

**Elder Sister (thinking):** Finally, a weight off my shoulders. I thought he knew Ah Hai's identity.

**Xue Hai:** You know Pink Panther?

**Yifei:** Yes, I like Pink Panther too.

**Xue Hai:** Great, me too.

**Xue Hai:** What's your name?

**Yifei:** I'm Zhang Yifei.

**Xue Hai:** Oh.

**Zhang Yifei:** Da Lang, let's go register.

**Xue Hai:** Okay.

**Xue Hai:** Bye, Elder Sister.

**Elder Sister:** What do you mean bye?

**Xue Hai:** Aren't you going back after sending me to Hangzhou?

**Elder Sister:** No, I have to take you to register and settle you in the dorm before I can feel at ease.

**Xue Hai:** I'm not a kid. What university student still has parents accompanying them?

**Elder Sister:** Hey, you even lost your boarding pass. How can I be sure you won't lose yourself?

**Xue Hai:** That's not true.

**Yifei** watches as **Da Lang** and **Elder Sister** continue talking.

**Yifei (thinking):** This dialogue is just like a joke

**Zhang Yifei:** Alright, Elder Sister, Da Lang, stop arguing. Da Lang, Elder Sister is just looking out for your safety. **Xue Hai** looks at **Yifei** and has no choice but to agree.

**Yifei:** Wow, there are so many people here.

**Da Lang:** Sis, over there. (He says and then sneaks away.)

**Elder Sister:** Over there? It should be over there. (She turns around.) Da Lang?

**Yifei:** He's over there. (Yifei points in that direction.)

**Elder Sister:** That brat.

At this moment, Da Lang runs up to the staff and opens his file.

**Staff:** What's your name, student?

**Da Lang:** My name is Xue...

**Elder Sister:** Lin Da Lang. (Her voice comes from behind.)

**Da Lang:** Sis, what are you saying?

**Elder Sister:** (To the staff) Lin Da Lang.

**Staff:** And what's the name of the student behind you?

**Yifei:** My name is Zhang Yifei.

The staff flips through the transfer student records.

**Staff:** Here it is, Lin Da Lang and Zhang Yifei, welcome to our school. (Due to Yifei's time travel, a subtle change occurs here.)

**Yifei (thinking):** That scared me, but what's going on here?

**Staff:** Now you two can pay the fees.

**Elder Sister:** Thank you.

**Da Lang:** Sis, don't go yet.

Elder Sister and Da Lang walk out.

**Campus**

**Da Lang:** Wait a second, Sis. Are you really going to make me use the name Lin Da Lang at school?

**Elder Sister:** Yes, you think I'm joking?

**Da Lang:** But...

**Elder Sister:** But what? If others find out...

**Da Lang (interrupting):** Sis, you're at it again. You're going to say that our family is so rich and that I'm the only son, so if someone has bad intentions towards me, what will we do?

**Elder Sister:** Exactly.

**Lin Da Lang:** But, Sis, the name Lin Da Lang is really awful.

**Elder Sister:** There's no other way. Just remember, your name is Lin Da Lang and your family is very poor, very poor.

**Da Lang:** Oh, should we tell Yifei?

**Elder Sister:** Don't tell him your real identity for now, we'll talk about it later.

**Da Lang:** Okay.

Yifei walks out from the registration office.

**Yifei:** Sis, Da Lang, what are you two talking about?

**Da Lang & Elder Sister:** Nothing.

**Yifei:** Are you two hiding something from me?

**Da Lang & Elder Sister:** No, absolutely not.

**Yifei (thinking):** Even if you don't say, I know.

**Yifei:** Oh.

**Dormitory**

Ba Shuang and Wu Ke are dozing off. Ba Shuang opens his eyes and sees three people.

**Ba Shuang:** Are you two new transfer students?

**Da Lang:** Yes.

**Yifei:** Yes.

Ba Shuang and Wu Ke stand up.

**Ba Shuang:** My name is Ba Shuang. (Makes the number 8 gesture.)

**Wu Ke:** My name is Wu Ke. (Makes the number 5 gesture.)

**Da Lang & Yifei & Elder Sister:** Ba Shuang, Wu Ke. (Make the 8 and 5 gestures.)

**Ba Shuang:** Yes, what are your names?

**Yifei:** My name is Zhang Yifei. (He walks over and shakes hands with Ba Shuang and Wu Ke.)

**Wu Ke:** And what's your name?

**Da Lang:** Hello, my name is Xue...

**Elder Sister:** Lin Da Lang, Lin Da Lang, Lin Da Lang.

Ba Shuang and Wu Ke nod their heads.

**Ba Shuang:** We get it, but why repeat it three times?

**Ba Shuang:** Then this must be your grandmother, grandmother, grandmother.

At this moment, Elder Sister feels a bit uncomfortable with what they said.

**Elder Sister:** I'm not his grandmother, grandmother, grandmother.

**Wu Ke & Ba Shuang:** Then you must be his mother, mother, mother.

Da Lang and Yifei laugh behind them.

**Elder Sister (angrily):** I'm his elder sister, elder sister, elder sister.

**Wu Ke:** Elder...sister?

**Ba Shuang:** How...can it be?

**Da Lang:** Is it that serious?

**Elder Sister:** Ugh, ugh, ugh, this small room houses four people. My servants' quarters are bigger than this.

**Elder Sister:** Look at the stuff stuck on the wall. And the windows aren't made of aluminum, they're plastic. If a strong wind blows at night, can this plastic material hold?

**Elder Sister:** If it makes our Da Lang sick, what then?

**Ba Shuang:** It sounds like you're very wealthy?

**Da Lang:** Our family isn't wealthy. We're very poor, very poor, very poor.

**Wu Ke:** But your sister just said so.

**Da Lang:** She...she has delusions of wealth.

Da Lang says this while giving a wink to his sister.

**Ba Shuang & Wu Ke:** Huh, delusions of wealth?

**Da Lang:** Yes, it's a very rare condition.

**Da Lang:** Only very poor, very poor, very poor people imagine themselves as wealthy.

**Elder Sister:** Da Lang, what nonsense are you talking about? When did I have this condition?

**Yifei (intentionally):** Yes, when did you get this condition, Sis?

**Yifei (thinking):** I didn't expect the dialogues from "Hi My Sweetheart" to be so interesting. Haha, it's more fun than watching on the computer.

**Yifei (deliberately watching the scene):** Da Lang walks to his sister and whispers, you do have the condition, and it's serious. Why else would you always imagine yourself as rich and wealthy?

**Da Lang:** Aren't we very poor? (He winks at his sister.)

Elder Sister sees Da Lang winking and realizes she had said too much.

**Elder Sister:** Oh, yes. We're very poor, very poor.

**Wu Ke:** Actually, my family is poor too, but I don't have this strange condition. That means you're poorer than us. How pitiful.

Da Lang nods.

**Elder Sister:** Very pitiful, very pitiful. (She puts on a look of grievance.)

Yifei watches them with a smile.

**Yifei:** Sis, enough. You should be leaving now, right?

**Elder Sister:** Huh?

**Da Lang:** Yes, Sis, it's about time. You can go now.

Elder Sister pouts in displeasure, feeling like she's being kicked out.

**Yifei:** Sis, that trick won't work anymore.

**Da Lang:** Come on, Sis, didn't you say you'd leave after helping me register and move into the dorm?

**Da Lang:** And you promised not to disturb me while I study in Hangzhou. Be true to your word.

**Yifei:** Yes, Sis, you need to keep your word.

**Elder Sister:** Fine, then I'll go.

**Da Lang & Yifei:** Okay.

**Elder Sister:** I'm really leaving.

**Da Lang:** Goodbye.

**Yifei:** We know, Sis. Stop talking nonsense.

**Elder Sister:** This time, I'm really going.

**Da Lang:** Go ahead.

Ba Shuang and Wu Ke wave goodbye.

After she leaves, Da Lang and Yifei happily shake hands with Ba Shuang and Wu Ke.

**Da Lang:** Hi, do you have internet here?

**Ba Shuang:** Yes.

**Yifei:** Is it wired or wireless?

**Ba Shuang:** Wired.

At this moment, Da Lang has a flash of realization. He sees his sister in front of him.

**Yifei:** Sis, why haven't you left yet?

**Da Lang:** Yes, why are you back again?

**Elder Sister:** I forgot my bag.

**Da Lang:** Oh.

**Elder Sister:** I'm really leaving now.

Elder Sister reluctantly walks out of the room.

**Yifei:** Hi, Ba Shuang, Wu Ke.

**Ba Shuang & Wu Ke:** Hi, Yifei.

Elder Sister knocks on the door again. Da Lang is annoyed.

**Yifei & Ba Shuang & Wu Ke:** Da Lang, let us get it.

Ba Shuang and Wu Ke open the door.

**Elder Sister:** I just wanted to say...

**Yifei & Ba Shuang & Wu Ke:** Sis, we know you're leaving.

Elder Sister glances at Da Lang. Da Lang ignores her. She has to leave.

Outside the dorm building, Elder Sister gets into a taxi and says to the driver: "Take me to the best hotel in Hangzhou."

**Elder Sister (thinking):** Hmph, this kid wants to kick me out, dream on.
